mine used to do the same thing.

usually what happens is that the grease dries out or it just the cable inside doesn't turn easy...

you can disconnect it; take it out, and clean it. lube it with grease and make sure it turns free.

but
i just went buy it new for like $23 at the acura dealer. so should be less for a civic. less hassle....
